Hi all! The first book I read by Adrian was Alien Clay, and I have to be honest, it didn't click with me. It felt long and slow, and I wasn't really a fan. It was interesting, but it never truly gripped me.

Still, I wanted to give him another chance, so I picked up Children of Time, and it was amazing! One of the best sci-fi books I've ever read.

Now Shroud is finally being released in my language, but I've heard it's very similar to Alien Clay. So, for those of you who've read both books: do you think I'd enjoy Shroud even though I didn't like Alien Clay? Has anyone else had the same experience?

Edit: Thanks for all the replies! Looks like I'm going to buy Shroud after all. Thanks, everyone!
